"My Word" Poem

• Psalm 1:1 (ASV)

“My Word”

My word means a lot whenever I give it

It’s all that I’ve got so I need to live it

A man of my word is how I wish to be known

The truth that I speak is written in stone

Many these days simply lie to each other

But those aren’t the type I want as my brother

My word is my bond that’s how it should be

You know what you get when you talk to me

Some folks may not like what I have to say

But at least I don’t change it day after day

What I say today I’ll stand by tomorrow

And because I stand by it I won’t have to borrow

A thought or a feeling or any weak thing

The truth that I speak has its very own ring

A promise from God through His Word shall be done

And my word is His seal that I am His son

I swear not by heaven I swear not by earth

Nor by my mother who gave me my birth

A gift from my Father with which He does bless

That my no would mean no and my yes would mean yes

The Brother

Your Brother In Christ
